The nation's favourite agony aunt, Claire Rayner, answers your questions.
Claire Rayner

Many people have concerns about their own hearing, or that of someone they know. So it's good to have someone you can ask for advice, especially when that person has real experience of what you are talking about, and can offer practical, yet sensitive answers.

Here you can browse through previously asked questions, and even submit your own.

Past questions answered

These are just some of the questions that concerned users of our website have asked Claire:

  • I can't always understand what people say at work - should I take early retirement?
  • My wife shouts at me all the time and I'm worried there might actually be something wrong with my hearing. What do you suggest?
  • I think my mother might be losing her hearing and I'm worried about the practical implications. She can be stubborn, so what can I do?
